How to use the Cover Letter Generator
- Choose a template that matches your situation (experienced, recent graduate, career change or internship) and a tone.
- Fill in the job details: job title, company and, if you know it, the hiring manager's name.
- Add your strengths: your current role, years of experience, top skills and 2 to 4 achievements, ideally with numbers.
- Review the letter on the right. Press Shuffle wording for alternative phrasing, and click anywhere in the letter to edit it.
- Copy, download or print: copy the text into an application form or email, download a Word file, or use Print / Save as PDF.
How a strong cover letter is structured
The generator follows the structure most recruiters expect. Each part has one job, which keeps the letter short and easy to skim:
| Part | What it does | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Header and greeting | Your name and contact details, the date, and the person you are writing to | Use the hiring manager's name if you can find it |
| Opening paragraph | Names the job and company and sums up who you are in one or two sentences | Mention where you found the job, especially if it was a referral |
| Skills and achievements | Shows two or three strengths that match the job, backed by results | Use numbers: “cut response time by 30%” beats “improved response time” |
| Why this company | Shows you chose this employer on purpose | Name something specific: a product, value, project or recent news |
| Closing | Thanks the reader and invites the next step | Keep it short and confident |
Which template and tone to choose
- Experienced professional: leads with your years of experience and track record. Best when you already work in the same field.
- Recent graduate / entry level: leads with your degree, projects and eagerness to learn. Add internships, part-time jobs or class projects as achievements.
- Career change: explains the move and focuses on transferable skills, such as communication, project management or data analysis, that carry over to the new role.
- Internship: written for students, focused on what you are studying and what you hope to learn and contribute.
For tone, Professional fits almost any job. Choose Formal for law, finance, government and academic roles (it uses “Yours sincerely” when you name the reader and “Yours faithfully” when you do not, following British convention), Enthusiastic or Friendly for startups, creative and customer-facing roles, and Confident for sales and leadership positions.
Writing achievements that stand out
Start each achievement with a strong past-tense verb and include a number, a time frame or a clear result. The generator turns lines that start with verbs such as increased, launched, led or reduced into natural sentences when bullet points are switched off. Good examples:
- Increased online sales by 18% in six months by redesigning the checkout flow.
- Led a team of 5 to deliver a new booking system two weeks ahead of schedule.
- Reduced customer support tickets by 25% by writing a self-service help center.
- Tutored 20 first-year students in statistics, raising the group's average grade from C to B.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a cover letter be?
Most cover letters should fit on one page: about 250 to 400 words in three or four short paragraphs. Recruiters often skim, so a focused letter with a few concrete achievements works better than a long one. Use the Concise length option for online forms or email applications.
What should a cover letter include?
A strong cover letter names the job you are applying for, explains briefly who you are, highlights two or three skills or achievements that match the job, shows why you want to work for this particular company, and ends with a polite call to action. The generator builds exactly this structure from your answers.
Should I address the cover letter to a specific person?
Yes, if you can find the hiring manager's name on the job ad, the company website or LinkedIn, use it. It feels more personal than Dear Hiring Manager. If you cannot find a name, Dear Hiring Manager or Dear [Company] Hiring Team is perfectly acceptable.
Can I use the same cover letter for every job?
You can reuse the structure, but tailor each letter: change the job title, company, the reason you want to work there and the achievements that best match the job description. The generator saves your details, so you only need to update a few fields for each application.
How do I save the cover letter as a PDF?
Click Print / Save as PDF and choose Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF) as the printer. The letter prints on its own page without the website around it. You can also download a .doc file and open it in Word or Google Docs.
Is my information stored or sent anywhere?
No. The letter is generated in your browser from built-in templates. Your answers are saved only in this browser's local storage so they are still there next time, and you can clear them with the Clear form button.
